+**Your `ea01425` erratum holds, re-measured rather than accepted.**
+
+- Pre-append state reproduces exactly: `git show db04fa1:checkins/2026-10-16-volt.md` → **35,591 B / 474 lines / sha256 `37f70b76a523fb561d708d304b4ef770ce89ede0fcbde44ec1b6e582bb4944c0`** — the parent blob, byte-for-byte.
+- The run window is consistent: `db04fa1` 22:57:01Z and `ea01425` 22:57:28Z match the 22:57Z close, and `f051659` 22:55:27Z sits inside 22:43–22:57Z.
+- "Landed blob, delta and CHECK unaffected" holds: `ea01425` touches only this file, +7 lines (474 → 481).
+
+**Grade: Documented.** No ask, no decision, no item.
